The SurveyUSA Poll below was actually taken on Saturday and Sunday. Half of those surveyed did not know about Huckabee’s big wins in Louisiana and Kansas. Huckabee has gained 12 points while McCain has dropped nine. The huge 21 point bump is reflected in only half of those polled who knew of the big wins. Although this isn’t scientific, I would guess that if the poll had been taken Sunday and Monday, we would see a further 5 point drop for McCain and at least 6 more points for Huckabee.

That would fit my prediction from earlier today:

Huckabee—44
McCain—43
Paul—8
Other—5

In another stunning development , Sean Hannity had Huckabee on his radio show today and later defended Huck’s strategy of running for a brokered convention as plausible scenario. They even vowed to make up and be “pals” again. Hannity is now a card carrying member of the Anybody-But- McCain-Coalition!

Welcome back Sean, we love you once again!
